The Colorado Buffaloes arrived in San Antonio, preparing for a pivotal matchup against the BYU Cougars in the Alamo Bowl. Coach Prime's team boasts a 9-3 record

Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders made clear he doesn't want anyone smoking in their hotel rooms – or at all – before their bowl game.

It's been almost one month since the Colorado Buffaloes blew out the Oklahoma State Cowboys to close the regular season. The wait will end on Saturday as CU will take on the BYU Cougars in the Alamo Bowl at 5:30 p.m. MT (ABC).

The players visited SeaWorld San Antonio on Christmas Day, continuing an Alamo Bowl tradition. Take a look at the fun in the video player above. Colorado Coach Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders also took in the sights and sounds of the Alamo City, visiting the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts and other spots around downtown.

SAN ANTONIO — Colorado secured what it said was record insurance coverage for quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter as the star duo opted to complete their college careers in the Alamo Bowl rather than sit out and prepare for the NFL draft.

In an era when many top college football players who are about to turn pro opt out of playing in bowl games, it was somewhat surprising when Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders insisted that his two biggest stars — Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders — would play in the Alamo Bowl against BYU on Dec.

Colorado secured what it said was record insurance coverage for Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter as the star duo opted to play in the Alamo Bowl.

Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter and quarterback Shedeur Sanders financially are protected against potential injuries in Saturday's Alamo Bowl against BYU, according to Colorado coach Deion Sanders.

Colorado would not disclose the amount of insurance coverage each received, citing privacy laws. Coach Deion Sanders and athletic director Rick George both said it was the largest in college football history.
